If you thought your clothes were pretty cool, you may soon be humbled by the new wave of futuristic fashion: wearable electronics. LED lighted clothing is already appearing on the shelves, but fiber optic technology is continuing to develop at a rapid pace. For example, the company Adafruit has come up with a platform called "Flora", a tiny microprocessor that can easily be attached to clothing. These processors are being designed for all different purposes, from lighting up different colored LED lights to full-on GPS capabilities.
Coming soon: a GPS handbag from Adafruit. I personally would feel a little silly asking a handbag for directions...
